Former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said she expects inflation to continue playing a big role in the midterm elections Monday on “Special Report.”
MORGAN ORTAGUS: Rarely are these competitive senate races blowouts. You typically see them within 1 to 3 to 4 points anyways.

That’s why these Republican candidates are doing better.
